Style

Irreverent play in verse and song, told by the protagonists and by narrators with the action mimed. A good introduction to Shakespeare's story! (The specified run-time is the minimum - banquets, battles and bopping will add to the run time!)

Synopsis

The Musical Scottish Play - or 'Kids in Kilts' The complete story of Shakespeare's Macbeth (witches, murder, walking trees, revenge - that sort of thing) told as in verse and songs as a play for kids. [Note that there is also a version of this play without the songs, called The Scottish Play. It is identical except that the songs have been omitted.]

Piano and Vocal sheet music for nine original songs is provided with the Producer's Copy of the script

Style

One act musical comedy play - set in the studio of a TV make-over show complete with cheesy presenters and sponsorship jingles.

A Nasally over-blessed heroine (Miss Nodda Tragtiff) takes part in a reality Makeover show, only to find that the New You promised has caused her to lose her old friends and only gained her fleeting popularity with new people.

Minimum Male roles = 4. Minimum Female roles = 4. Minimum total with doubling = 21. Minimum total without doubling = 40. Chorus. Very flexible cast, with solo roles and (potentially) a very large chorus, described as the people of earth and dancing pairs of animals. (There is even a non-speaking cameo for God.)

Around 50 minutes. [Estimated!]

Music

The producer's copy comes with a piano and vocal score for the 19 songs and instrumentals. (There is a conductors score and band parts as an optional extra.)

Style

Lively, expressive, epic musical with some light humour. Designed to not rely heavily on props or set.
